It has been suggested that a DID mind can experience parts that are actively awake whilst the rest of the body and mind is experiencing REM sleep at the same time- I find this fascinating to watch ones’ self dream as I’ve described in my posts.
I wonder if this happens to other people like myself or have it gone unnoticed.
Hoping to not sound conceited, but...I am my own favorite subject of observation...but so are the rest of all that is challenged by this condition. I just happen to be on hand and readily available.

my understanding of the brain is that all areas of the brain are active through out the night. what changes is the kind of brain waves during sleep vs awake. (alpha, beta...)
example the thalmus is active during the daytime. its the pain center. its also active during sleep ever dream of getting hurt in a dream and during that it actually feels like you got hurt.
the hippocampus is the memories and emotions center for the brain. its active during awake hours and when alsleep. (where do dreams come from.. our remembered experiences and emotions related to those experiences and our imaginations...)
my point there are many many parts of the brain that are active 24/7 during sleep/ waking or under stress or relaxation.
my suggestion is maybe do a research project or join a college biology class that teaches all about the brain and how it functions and what each part of the brain does. the brain is an amazing organ and I really enjoyed my college health classes. I was amazed at just how much the brain continues to work even when we are asleep.
